23 Best Coffee Shops in Bloomington

“We stopped in on Sunday December 14th because we saw a coupon in the MOA coupon book for a free beverage. Never did I think we would have the experience we did. Shout-out to Ty for engaging in conversation with my son and I. He pointed out my son's hat (he collects Pokemon pins) and was so nice and hyped up my son so much. We had a wonderful time and he also sent us home with a bunch of Capital One swag. We have told so many people about our experience and we will definitely be back. Should also mention the Cinnamon Maple Latte with Cold Foam is to die for. We really need more genuine people like Ty in this world.“

“I am a fan of small locally owned coffee shops and WSP is one of my long time favorites. Thanks Mary!“

“Chai latte with oat milk and a half pump of marshmallow syrup is legit one of the best things I've ever had at a coffee shop!“

“This Caribou Coffee is inside the Lunds & Byerlys, which was a little confusing to me. I have zero experience with coffee and am trying to learn how to drink it, so I went in the middle of the workday and it was very quiet. The barista was friendly and helpful, and even though it took me quite a while and a back and forth for him to help me figure out what's a good starter coffee, I never felt rushed. I ended up getting a vanilla crafted press.

The store itself did feel a little strange since it's kind of just a stand inside the grocery store, which I wasn't ready for, so it's not as "coffee house vibe" as you might be expecting, though there is seating in the Lund's and Byerly's ready to eat section of the store.“

“Caribou Coffee is my go-to caffeine haven when in Minneapolis, and the Carmel High Rise is my personal love language. Whether it’s hot enough to reheat your soul, iced like your ex’s heart, or blended smoother than your favorite playlist—this drink does not disappoint.

The staff? They’re like the barista version of golden retrievers: friendly, efficient, and possibly too good for this world. Every visit feels like a tiny coffee vacation. If sipping caramel-covered joy while basking in good vibes sounds like your thing, grab your cup and join the cult—I mean, club.“

“I cannot state more how much we love Pizza Novara! We’ve gone to Bloomington for summer vacation the past 3 years now and make sure we get to Pizza Novara at LEAST once every trip. We’ve yet to have anything disappointing or less than amazing. We have an incredibly picky toddler who devours her pizza every single time!“

“This is my first time trying Scramblin’ egg and let me tell you it is the best breakfast burrito out there and will totally be back and hopefully can stay as a brick and motor store as I think they will be successful at the Bloomington location!!!!“

“Hands down, this was the best and most pleasant coffee shop experience I've ever had. My wife and I stopped in for breakfast, and from the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the service. The cashier was incredibly kind and provided some of the best customer service I've had in a long time.
We settled in with our cold brew coffees, a delicious chorizo burrito for me, and a sausage egg sandwich for my wife. The atmosphere was so nice—comfy and quiet, the perfect place to sit and relax. I really wish I could come here more often. This place is a true gem!“

“Whether you're rolling in off the interstate or strolling over from a nearby hotel, this Caribou Coffee delivers a caffeine experience worth detouring for. The facility is clean and inviting, with just the right blend of cozy charm and modern style. The staff? Absolutely on point—friendly, efficient, and clearly fueled by the same magic they serve.

Speaking of magic, the Caramel Highrise here deserves its own standing ovation. Hot, iced, or blended, it’s always perfection—layered, velvety, and sweet enough to be indulgent without going overboard. It’s not just my favorite drink, it’s practically a lifestyle.

The location is super convenient, especially for travelers. We loved that we could walk there from our hotel, and it ended up being a highlight of our stay. It’s the kind of place that turns a casual coffee run into a feel-good moment.

If you’re in the area, don’t pass it by—this little slice of Caribou warmth is more than just a pit stop. It’s a full-on mood.“

“The absolute best customer service ANYWHERE! I can tell you … as a past employee there,,,,they do their best to fill a need but do it in a fun way! I was there for 25 years and as a top seller I can say it was the best 25 of my life. Yes, it’s a commissioned store but, they really DO see the customer. DO try to make it fun and get you what you need.“

“This is a convenient place for people taking the bus or train to the mall to get coffee during the daytime. It opens at 8 am for people who work at the mall or do mall walking before stores open. The downside is that it closes somewhat early at about 5 pm, so it doesn't work for evening visitors.

Parking: There's tons of parking here, but this location is best accessed by people taking transit or using the bike racks nearby. If you want to park here, use the elevator within the parking structure to access the transit level, as there isn't direct stairway access, and going into the mall and back down to the transit center can be confusing“

“The London Fig was excellent. Perfect for a snowy cold day.“

“Got a mango and pineapple refresher from here. It genuinly came out within about 40 seconds after ordering it which surprsied me a lot. It tasted very good and was exaclty what I wanted. The workers were very nice, the guy who took my order was. A bit monotone but it wasn't depressingly bad or anything. The counters were very dirty but overall good atmosphere.“

“amazing store. there all hard workers“

“As someone who prefers the coffee at Caribou to the other major chain at Mall of America, I was happy to see Caribou represented here! Apparently I'm not the only Caribou fan, as the place was pretty crowed, but our drinks were prepared quickly and efficiently.“

“Great service, delicious healthy food. Try the sambusa!“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“Great staff! Clean place. I love it!“

“A super cute boba place with fun flavors and even cool cups! There’s just something about those curved edges that make the drinks fun. The Ube Latte Crème Brûlée boba is my favorite so far. My daughter of course enjoys the Miffy mascot. We will turn this into one of our main treat go to places for sure!“

“Leave your prejudice behind because this market is a trip. This is like going to East Africa. A Somalian restaurant and market located around the corner from the Mall of America, perhaps a mile down the street from MOA. The food is original and there are no big thrills, East African cuisine as you’d get in Somalia or Kenya. The food is tasty and it’s a hub for Somali cabbies (taxi) drivers. There is a market too. Worth to get camel meat from the tiny meat market. There is a little room for the men but I’ve never seen there any women. Worth exploring every aisle in the market.“

“Rick, Becky, Jess, and Mary are the best workers I have ever met at Starbucks. They're customer service is the best and they always make sure I start my day off right. As a daily customer, there are many days where I don't need coffee but I'll go in just to enjoy the experience that they give as a group. Above and beyond for a busy Starbucks.“

“I took 30 min to pick up my drink due to running behind at work, and they remade my drink for me, as it was blended!! Cory is the guy who helped me and offered to remake my drink without me even having to ask!!! FIVE STARS ALL AROUND!!! Thank you!!!!!“
